I was told not to buy this here item by the birthday boy
himself. He reminded me that it was much
too expensive of a gift and that he didn’t really
need it, simply chalking up a sufficient birthday gift to new white t-shirts to
replace his current ones and their bacon neck situation. I racked my brain for WEEKS trying to think
of a gift that would evoke from him the same giddy response I knew this device would,
but I....just....couldn’t. I mean, I was really
starting to sweat his gift this year.
So, last Friday I called AT&T, attempting to work a birthday
discount miracle for the guy who never buys himself anything. When there to my wondering ears did I hear,
an automated system which said, “You have a new device waiting to be
activated. Is this the reason you are calling?”
Why no it isn’t. lol The most generous
guy alive struck again, and boy was I furious (in a good way). While I was a little bummed about discovering
the Christmas gift he bought me, I took this as an open invitation to
reciprocate the gesture and spend his hard earned money to get him the ONE item
he would light up over. So, off to apple
I went. And he was deeeelighted when he
saw it (unless that was panic in his eyes over deeeepleted bank accounts). Ha.
Happy Birthday to my
sweetheart. I hope you have the best
birthday yet. And while I know you loved
this here gift, you actually don’t put much value on such toys, so I can also
guarantee the kind of presents that mean the most to you when you arrive home
from work today…a little baby girl flailing her arms and squealing because her
dada is home and a wifey (who baked a cake. Yep, that’s right, a cake) who
just thinks you hang the moon. Our funds
may now be low, but our spirits are rich indeed. I love you.
